Every fisherman has a great story to tell. The more over excaggerated the better, which reminds me of the book "popular music from vittula" by Mikael Niemi. If you haven't read it yet, you're seriously missing out on a great tale

Any way this was painted with watercolours on hot pressed watercolour paper

Hey Everybody. It's been a long time since I posted last... sorry... Here is a portrait I did of comedian Louis CK. It's done in pencil and photoshop. Louis is a horrible, and horribly funny man. Check out his dvd "Shameless" it's hilarious.

Here they are, the wee beasties. Hope you enjoy them. It was my first try on this particular set of dolls. I have another set at home from a different company, I'm hoping the quality of the finish is a bit better...less chips and grain marks in the wood. Any feedback much appreciated!

Was working on this over the weekend and was really happy with how it turned out- submitting it for a group art show themed around the color "Green"- planning on mounting it (ink/colored pencil on paper) on a wood panel and varnishing it (thinking of perhaps lightly staining the paper so it's not pristine white, but not 100% sure yet)

I've been noodling with this for a little while, working on it in between other projects. I might touch it up a little bit still, but it's basically finished. It's an illustration of a bunch of my favorite film directors enjoying a movie together. Can you recognize any of them? Click through the image to see a bigger version, complete with notes on who each director is and some of the films they've done.

Last week I posted an illustration of a vulture in a pinstripe suit. It accompanied a newspaper article in which the readers were asked what they thought a suitable punishment would be for the bankers accused of messing up the world economy.The verdict by the readers: force them to come to work in a clown-suit.

Jeff I guess this one doesn't count for the chicken challenge, does it?

I've got more Doodles here from meetings that I attend. I got 6 done the other day. I'm going to start posting all of the doodles that I do within a couple weeks time so you can see what I do when I'm just listening to someone else speak. It's not that I'm bored when I do this, it just helps me pay attention and stay awake,... since I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat apparently. I don't know why I'm like this but I think it may run in the family. In that case, I absolve myself of ownership or blame. Anyway, here's a bunch of doodles from last week. Enjoy and have an awesome weekend!-M
